Tariffs could coming off tomorrow.

Either the most incompetent administration in history, or the most blatant stock market manipulation ever.

Or both. Why not both?

Why “or” when you can “and”?

Plan B will be a full court press of disinformation and lies to get Poilievre elected.

He’s nothing more than a mafia boss shaking down people and countries

cdawgie.bsky.social•4 days ago

A wanna be mafia boss, that duped a shit to of people

averageguyoverland.bsky.social•4 days ago

It’s all manipulation with these people.

dsiren72.bsky.social•4 days ago

It’s bullshit!
It’s another play on Canada and Mexico.

lmarson05.bsky.social•4 days ago

It's both

thesportygoddess.bsky.social•3 days ago

…and so quickly that his supporters never notice and he can blame the other countries for our f-d up economy and layoffs. They ooze evil from every orifice

bpakofdogs.bsky.social•4 days ago

Doubt it, traitor put down his stupidity, how he rolls. Dumb and dumber.

lesnielbc.bsky.social•4 days ago

I don’t believe it, and even if they did, too damn late. Damage is done.

havenofear.bsky.social•4 days ago

Definitely both. There was a huge buy-up about midway through the day. More insider trading.

agateboy.bsky.social•4 days ago

spineless coward at play.

Both his friends are making billions on this game.

michellemybella.bsky.social•4 days ago

A narcissist will never admit failure we’re going down.

livefromtakomapark.bsky.social•4 days ago

Tariffs are universally known to be stupid. Trump’s mistake is thinking that we’ll all behave like republicans in Congress and just sell our souls to avoid a nasty tweet and praise his idiocy.

That only works for the maga faithful who aren’t involved with reality.

I expect a full explanation of what we gained with this exercise.

I also can't believe I was able to finish that sentence without laugh vomiting...

marlymarieport.bsky.social•4 days ago

The stock market manipulation makes sense if Trump had any idea what he was doing, but again-musk is president so both.

mbwar.bsky.social•4 days ago

Last I heard insider trading was illegal. Lock the bastards up

edgeor.bsky.social•4 days ago

Its all part of the grift. They shorted the stocks before the tariff statement and bought back low before the reversal.

glitterjedi.bsky.social•4 days ago

Two things can be right

starlightwishes.bsky.social•4 days ago

Will they have to do something more spectacular to manipulate the market next time? ... I mean, we've seen this same play twice now.

teebonez.bsky.social•4 days ago

Naw, these guys are just fucking stupid shitbags

kallenemvalts.bsky.social•3 days ago

It’s like someone wandered into a nuclear facility and said, hmm, I wonder what this button does.

sallyf.bsky.social•4 days ago

I did wonder about the stock market manipulation possibility as soon as I heard them hint at walking it back already this afternoon. Too bad the SEC is toothless... If they keep it up it will be like the boy who cried wolf. It has also galvanized we Canadians. We don't deserve this disrespect.

willow14.bsky.social•4 days ago

WHY IS MUSK NOT ARRESTED BY NOW???

holdyourfire.bsky.social•4 days ago

Somebody say short selling today?

kt2690.bsky.social•4 days ago

Stock market manipulation. He has people to pay back.

adria88.bsky.social•3 days ago

More likely than not, both.
Some of these rich guys and politicians made a killing this past week.
May they all suffer a long and painful death.

thedrummer.bsky.social•4 days ago

They are competent at scamming but anybody without a conscience can take money from gullible people. Ask Joel Osteen or Jerry Falwell Jr.

greatfausto.bsky.social•4 days ago

Too bad the SEC won’t bother investigating the short sellers

kayiso64.bsky.social•4 days ago

We aren’t changing. 🇨🇦

Started / Going

ridgewaysretreat.bsky.social•4 days ago

Nope fuck him. He is unstable. Response from Canada should be maintain tariffs along with China and Mexico

ottawandrew.bsky.social•4 days ago

💯

oldpig.bsky.social•4 days ago

🇨🇦 says: Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
New normal now.

momiekyle.bsky.social•4 days ago

💙Both💙

jay2theworld.bsky.social•4 days ago

Short term gains if you have the money to pump when everything is at a low. Or take ownership stake even. Idk 🤷‍♂️ sounds like something Dump would do for sure.

redstateenigma.bsky.social•4 days ago

Keep this crap up and eventually investors will flee the US markets for more stable ones. Then what?

ziggurcat.bsky.social•4 days ago

This did not happen

ektaka.bsky.social•4 days ago

Only an incompetent administration would manipulate the stock market like this so definitely both.

cdawgie.bsky.social•4 days ago

Angry knows his shit.

theoldboy62.bsky.social•4 days ago

I'll take "AND" for $300

colover79.bsky.social•4 days ago

Stock market manipulation is my guess

waffletown-syrups.bsky.social•4 days ago

If he gets the market low enough his rich friends buy in the dip. The market goes up, they get richer and he looks like he’s turned things around.

And I truly believe his goal is to tank the economy for this very purpose!

dsmithson.bsky.social•4 days ago

That works until the market gets sticky up due to uncertainty and instability.

waffletown-syrups.bsky.social•4 days ago

It works when there’s no independent oversight.

anne-arkist.bsky.social•4 days ago

Manipulate the market so they can buy sdhit up on the cheap.............I'm thinking that is a CRIME

sabnabdab.bsky.social•4 days ago

Were they just manipulating the Stock Market?

amandacsb2.bsky.social•4 days ago

Again.

The Great Capitulation.

carlynclark.bsky.social•3 days ago

It's curious how the incompetence only ever leans in one direction. Their pockets

eddiethebulldog.bsky.social•4 days ago

The problem here is that you can’t put instability back in a bottle, no matter how grandiose your lies are.
This is real money. Investors won’t pretend you’re NOT the unstable genius that bankrupted a casino. They can’t unsee you manipulate the market for power trips. That’s banana republic shit.

yapyacht.bsky.social•3 days ago

Yes both. He announces what he is going to do. He sells. Then market drops he buys then he pauses and he makes millions.

jupiterdi.bsky.social•4 days ago

Oh FFS!!!

hanni68.bsky.social•4 days ago

Both
Trump - incompetence
Putin - design

blueseas.bsky.social•4 days ago

And yet, the damage has been done. Canadians won't forget - we certainly remember 1812

hanni68.bsky.social•4 days ago

Ouch.🤣🤣

gmarie55.bsky.social•4 days ago

scotindub.bsky.social•4 days ago

Mexico and Canada need to let them roll. Don’t let up, and make Trump have to come to them and ask them, publicly, to rescind the tariffs

mja2024.bsky.social•4 days ago

It was reported this evening by a reporter for Canada’s top newspaper, the Globe & Mail, that Lutnick called Ontario Premier Doug Ford demanding that he back off strong retaliation. Ford refused and said he might step up the response to US starting this trade war. Canadians are very pissed!!!

scotindub.bsky.social•4 days ago

Ford can go one way or another according to my Canadian friends and where the wind blows. I am happy to hear he’s sticking to his guns and, publicly, standing up for Ontario and by extension, the rest of the great Canadian folks

waffletown-syrups.bsky.social•4 days ago

Yes. They need to stick to their guns and make him feel the pain. MAGA will blame them but in the end his inability to negotiate with Mexico and Canada will prove once and for all he’s not a great businessman.

scotindub.bsky.social•4 days ago

Bankrupting casinos a number of times, kinda shows how inept he is. The Mob he ain’t

waffletown-syrups.bsky.social•4 days ago

Bluesky sees that. But the folks consuming the new state media think he’s the best thing since Smith and Wesson.

scotindub.bsky.social•4 days ago

True that
